Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure performed when a woman decides she no longer wants her implants. The surgery can address concerns like implant malfunction, capsular contracture, and dissatisfaction with breast size. It's also commonly performed on women who have experienced sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. If a woman chooses not to replace her implants, a breast lift can be done at the same time to address skin that may have been stretched. LEARN MORE >Choosing a doctor? Ask 20 essential questions

But it comes and goes so I've made a...

I'm deciding to write about my experience since so many of you have helped me. I got my implants on February 15, 2007 in Miami by Dr. Leonard Hochstein. He's a great doctor, does amazing work, and I highly recommend him if you're in that area. I'll have to look for a pic when they were first...

Low self esteem when I was 23 led to implants at 24. If I could tell my younger self anything it would be to love myself and be happy the way I was. I wish I had never had the augmentation. The doctor talked me into going larger - i just wanted an A cup to be a B or very small C at most. Instead...

It's amazing what can change in 15years.

After some research & a ps recommendation we both left New Zealand &...

32 years old and have had 360cc silicone implants placed on top of my muscles for 10 years. Experiencing sever bottoming out and recent and unexplained pain has left me with the decision to get these bad girls out of me. I am torn between en bloc or leaving the capsules as my implants are in...

I have wanted these implants out for a very long time but didn't think I could afford to have them removed. I also thought I would look hideous. I first had silicone implants over the muscle in 1980. I had a good plastic surgeon and he put in the largest implant for my body, a C cup. I...

Good day, like many other stories begin, "I found this site looking for support"
Yes, me too.
I have held in any emotion about my breast surgery from the late 90's to my shame, pain and misery I have carried up to this day. When I did the breast augmentation, I told one friend. Mostly because...
